New feature (forced download or new MOTD system) #77

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I want a MOTD for my server. And I love evolve admin mod. ULX has a MOTD
that is always updated on server restart. when a player joins. they
automatically get the new MOTD. I want that. I want it so when a player
joins they are forced to download the new MOTD. and I would like a force
download system. so I can add a directory to force download. like music or
whatever for a mp3 player. Sorry for my bad english. its very late. I have
been up for over 48 hours now.

If you read the front page you would see that motd is a planned feature howevrer
there is a non official motd plugin on the evolve website.

Yeah, he's talking about the unofficial MOTD. It only sends you the MOTD once, 
even
if it's updated. An official plugin will solve that.

try using a website as motd,
for example google.sites.com
you can make a webpage there,  and make that as your motd,

when you change the website it automaticly changes in motd as well,  no new 
download required,

but make sure you got the code like this; 

[code]/*------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------
    Message of the Day
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------*/

local PLUGIN = {}
PLUGIN.Title = "MOTD"
PLUGIN.Description = "Message of the Day."
PLUGIN.Author = "Divran  /////  edited by Mattheo baaij ( Fortune hunters)"
PLUGIN.ChatCommand = "motd"
PLUGIN.Usage = nil
PLUGIN.Privileges = nil

function PLUGIN:Call( ply, args )
    self:OpenMotd( ply )
end

function PLUGIN:PlayerInitialSpawn( ply )
    timer.Simple( 1, function() ply:ConCommand("evolve_startmotd") end)
end

function PLUGIN:OpenMotd( ply )
    if (SERVER) then
        ply:ConCommand("evolve_motd")
    end
end

if (SERVER) then 
    if (file.Exists("MOTDNAME.txt")) then
        resource.AddFile("data/(MOTDNAME.txt")
    end
end

if (CLIENT) then
    function PLUGIN:CreateMenu()
        self.StartPanel = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )
        local w,h = 150,50
        self.StartPanel:Center()

        self.OpenButton:SetText( "Open MOTD" )
        self.OpenButton.DoClick = function() 
            PLUGIN.MotdPanel:SetVisible( true )
            PLUGIN.StartPanel:SetVisible( false )

        self.CloseButton = vgui.Create("DButton",self.StartPanel)

        self.CloseButton.DoClick = function() 
            PLUGIN.StartPanel:SetVisible( false ) 
        end

        self.MotdPanel = vgui.Create("DFrame")
        local w,h = ScrW() - 200,ScrH() - 200
        self.MotdPanel:SetPos( 100,100 )
        self.MotdPanel:SetSize( w,h )

        self.MotdBox:OpenURL( "http://sites.google.com/site/(yoursitename)" )
    end
    timer.Simple( 0.1, function() PLUGIN:CreateMenu() end)

So, that is a lua file? and I put the website link in where you put it in the 
lua, and I also put it in the motd file in the data folder?

You can also use 'sv_loadingurl' and point it to a url, so when some one 
downloads and loads, they see the rules, but its not interactive; but you can 
see a live feed of a forum, chat, you jacking off... what ever

I found that If you put the HTML into the plugin, it updates it to the current 
text you want, an example:

/*------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------
    Message of the Day
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------*/

local PLUGIN = {}
PLUGIN.Title = "MOTD"
PLUGIN.Description = "Message of the Day."
PLUGIN.Author = "Divran"
PLUGIN.ChatCommand = "motd"
PLUGIN.Usage = nil
PLUGIN.Privileges = nil

function PLUGIN:Call( ply, args )
    self:OpenMotd( ply )
end

function PLUGIN:PlayerInitialSpawn( ply )
    timer.Simple( 1, function() ply:ConCommand("evolve_startmotd") end)
end

function PLUGIN:OpenMotd( ply )
    if (SERVER) then
        ply:ConCommand("evolve_motd")
    end
end

if (SERVER) then 
    if (file.Exists("evolvemotd.txt")) then
        resource.AddFile("data/evolvemotd.txt")
    end
end

if (CLIENT) then
    function PLUGIN:CreateMenu()
        self.StartPanel = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )
        local w,h = 150,50
        self.StartPanel:Center()
        self.StartPanel:SetSize( w,h )
        self.StartPanel:SetTitle( "Welcome!" )
        self.StartPanel:SetVisible( false )
        self.StartPanel:SetDraggable( true )
        self.StartPanel:ShowCloseButton( false )
        self.StartPanel:SetDeleteOnClose( false )

        self.OpenButton = vgui.Create("DButton",self.StartPanel)
        self.OpenButton:SetSize( 150/2-4, 20 )
        self.OpenButton:SetPos( 2, 25 )
        self.OpenButton:SetText( "Open MOTD" )
        self.OpenButton.DoClick = function() 
            PLUGIN.MotdPanel:SetVisible( true )
            PLUGIN.StartPanel:SetVisible( false ) 
        end
